The
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission says it is having a
problem with some local oystermen harvesting undersized oysters.
In
Florida, oysters have to be at least 3 inches before they can be
legally harvested.
Earlier
this month FWC Officers conducted inspections of commercial shellfish
harvesters in the Eastpoint area.
The
officers boarded several vessels and wound up issuing a number of
citations for possession of undersized oysters.
Officers
say in one case at least 72 percent of the oysters were undersized.
